Findingmyway How Do I Realistically Cut Grocery Bills? Feb 8, 2010 8:51 PM After years of living with roommates and boyfriends I live alone. It's been a fun and scary experience and though it's more expensive than I'd like, I am now spoiled by my space and freedom. At the start of the new year I vowed to cut back on spending since I am paying so much in rent and I also vowed to eat healthier. The trouble is that healthy food is expensive! I've been shopping at my local health food store, Safeway (but being smart about what I pick up!) and Whole Foods and no matter what I do, can't seem to shave my monthly food bills down to $300. Do you guys have any tips for eating healthy — as in lots of fresh and local fruits and veggies, organic dairy and meat — without breaking a budget?

steelmagnoliatn Order Water! Feb 8, 2010 7:03 AM On the rare times we do get to go out, unless one of us is celebrating something with a cocktail, we usually order water to save on the out to eat expenses. It's healthier by far and doesn't cost you a thing in most restaurants! We are actually beginning to teach our kids to do the same thing. Many places are beginning to charge on refills of other drinks, even for children!

lauren Opposite Attract When it Comes to Spending Habits Jan 28, 2010 9:31 AM I read a very interesting article on Get Rich Slowly today . The article is about a study where they found people are attracted to mates who have opposite ideas towards saving and spending money, so those penny pinchers are attracted to spenders and vice versa. I have thought have of several couples, myself included and pretty much this statement holds true. I have been married for 8 months and my husband is much more thrifty than myself since we have been married, I have definitely become less of a spender and realize the value of saving. He spends more than he used but still saves. So I feel that although we are opposites, we have learned from each other. I was just wondering, are you and your significant other also the opposite with regard to money?
